Make the end-of-project reporting easy for proposers who are interested in getting a video made for them so they can work on the project they have at hand.
Finalize Project Catalyst Report:
- Create a PowerPoint
- Create a closing video (3-5min)
- Create closing report
- Open source model that can be replicated
- Build templates and proper documentation for the process of building the closing report
This is so important because it will allow the community to properly audit the success of Project Catalyst proposals. Currently, only 50 of the 1000+ projects funded through project Catalyst have properly closed out their project. This causes a great disparity where the community doesn’t know how the project was carried out or if they had finished on that proposed deadline. So there is no way to show accountability, and we want to improve this for the value of the community and people who support these projects.
Our process will not completely fix this issue but will help add a greater quantity of proposals to the officially finalized stack which in turn provides the community with more transparency of if their votes were used properly or not.
How it works:
Proposal team submits a form to get an official closing report made
A. Create a presentation with this format “—”
B. Add logo + “Clean slides”, make sure to record clean and smooth audio, “no background sound” where possible.
C. Do you have a ‘how to…’ video? If not, screen record an example of what you built, or with a camera take a video of your physical product.
D. Hop on zoom, share the screen and record yourself speaking through the slides.
E. Add your logos, Add your description of project, Add project name, add socials to form
F. MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE RECORDINGS. ONCE SENT IT WILL BE FINALISED.
We then make the process easy for the proposer. We will email it to the IOHK Team with all the relevant info. Plus cc you for a confirmation email from IOHK that they have received it. Including the added data to our Gitbook, helping keep track and document our process transparently.
Why is it important?
It's important that the funded proposals are evaluated to see if they are delivering what was established in their mission and vision, and to see if they were on track.
What does success look like?
Several projects evaluating funded proposals, providing reports, articles and metrics on the development and implementation of the projects.
Key Metrics to measure:
-
Number of funded proposals audited
-
Considering that the idea is to audit and report on the development of proposals in different challenges, it is important that success metrics are thought out in relation to each challenge.
-
Number of reports, articles and videos/podcasts on:
-
Performance
-
Achievements
-
Financials
-
Number of onboarded developers.
-
Number of commits in funded proposal repositories (Github)
-
Number of smart contracts audited.
-
Social media engagement indicators.
-
People will be too lazy to fill out our survey and we don’t get 100 projects.
-
We advocate and promote standout projects’ videos through our network’s social media channels, partners and supporters and so there is an incentive to receive support in marketing and communications, and possible further advisory/consultancy services post project completion.
-
The team wants to see the final video creating a lag in time to get it sent to IOHK.
-
We keep strict time management to ensure we keep a healthy balance of effectiveness and responsiveness
-
If we don’t have a team of 3 or more willing to help create
-
we have a diverse team and plenty of capacity to cover each other if any unforeseen circumstances are to arise.
